Study Notes

Resource Efficiency and Pollution Prevention

  • ESS3 recognizes economic activity and urbanization create pollution (air, water, land) and consume finite resources.
  • Current and projected GHG concentrations threaten future generations.
  • Efficient resource use, pollution prevention, and mitigation technologies are more readily available.
  • This ESS sets out requirements to address resource efficiency and pollution prevention and management throughout the entire project life cycle, consistent with GIIP.

Objectives

  • Promote sustainable resource use (energy, water, raw materials).
  • Minimize adverse impacts on human health and the environment from project activities.
  • Reduce short and long-lived climate pollutant emissions.
  • Minimize hazardous and non-hazardous waste generation.
  • Minimize pesticide risks and impacts.
  • Avoid or minimize generation of hazardous and non-hazardous waste.
  • Control and minimize pollutant releases, managing concentrations and flow. Methods will follow national law and ESSGs. This includes hazardous and non-hazardous chemicals, including short and long-lived climate pollutants, thermal discharge to water, odors, noise, vibrations, radiation, electromagnetic energy, and visual impacts.

Scope of Application

  • Applicability determined during the environmental and social assessment (ESS1).

Requirements

  • Borrower considers ambient conditions and applies technically and financially feasible resource efficiency and pollution prevention measures.
  • Improve resource consumption efficiency (energy, water, raw materials).
  • Integrate cleaner production principles (product design, production processes) to conserve raw materials, energy, and water.
  • Benchmark resource efficiency using available data (comparing to existing data if possible). All efforts should use appropriate, accessible technology and engineering standards. Consider reuse and recycling of materials to reduce environmental impacts.

Energy Use

  • Efficient energy use is critical for sustainable development.
  • Borrower should implement measures to optimize energy usage where technically and financially possible.
  • Measures detailed in EHSGs are to be followed to optimize energy usage and promote sustainability.

Water Use

  • If projects use significant water or impact water quality, Borrower implements measures to avoid or minimize water usage to prevent impacts on communities, other users, or the environment. Consider use of alternative water sources.
  • Develop, maintain, monitor, and report water balances periodically.
  • Assess cumulative impacts of water use on communities and the environment. Mitigation measures will be identified and implemented. Benchmark water use efficiency against available industry standards. (Operations should be benchmarked against available industry standards). Assess potential cumulative impacts.
  • Establish processes for identifying historical pollution's responsible parties. Assess the impacts of historical pollution. Identify responsible parties for historical pollution, and if pollution poses significant threat to health or environment, risk assess.
  • Remediate the site following national law and GIIP (whichever is stricter).

Raw Material Use

  • If projects use significant raw materials, Borrower adopts efficient raw material use measures in EHSGs and other GIIP.
  • Raw material selection should prioritize less hazardous substitutes.

Pollution Prevention and Management

  • Avoid/minimize pollutant release; control pollutant concentration and flow, following national law and the EHSGs for safe and appropriate waste management across life cycle stages (routine, non-routine & accidental) in a thorough and comprehensive assessment of potential impacts.
  • Manage potential historical pollution: identify responsible parties; risk assess impacts to human health and the environment; remediate historical pollution following national law and GIIP (whichever is stricter) to avoid environmental risks and worker/community health concerns. Assess the risk to human health and the environment. Conduct appropriate environmental risk assessments. Historical pollution remediation must align with international conventions.
  • For hazardous waste, follow national legislation and international conventions (including transboundary movement). Hazardous waste management must comply with existing requirements (e.g. storage, transport, disposal), including adhering to national and international legislation related to different waste categories; this also includes consideration of the full life cycle of the waste material and associated impacts, including potential for release, transportation and disposal.

Air Pollution Management

  • Identify and implement technically/financially feasible options to minimize project-related air emissions.
  • Characterize and estimate project-related air pollution sources, including an estimate of gross GHG emissions (if technically/financially feasible); seek support from the bank for estimation limitations. Estimates should be representative of project phases across the entire life cycle, based on available data. Follow national methodologies for GHG estimations. Seek support if capacity is limited. All efforts should use appropriate, accessible technology and engineering standards.
  • Establish measures and options to minimize project-related air pollution risks and impacts. Consider the assimilative capacity of the environment.

Hazardous and Non-Hazardous Waste Management

  • Avoid waste generation, promoting reuse/recycle/recovery where possible.
  • Manage waste safely following national legislation (and) applicable international conventions using environmentally sound and safe disposal systems; assess the full life cycle of the waste material (including emissions, potential for release, transportation and disposal).
  • Ensure compliance with storage, transportation, and disposal of hazardous waste requirements laid out in EHSGs and national law, including those applicable to municipal, e-waste, and animal waste. Conduct appropriate environmental risk assessments for all waste categories; ensure compliance with existing requirements.

Pesticide Management

  • Prioritize IPM (Integrated Pest Management) or IVM (Integrated Vector Management).
  • Evaluate risks associated with pesticide use, considering intended use and users and compliance with EHSGs and international conventions, unless an acceptable justification or exemption is provided. Avoid pesticide use with ingredients restricted by international conventions.
  • Pesticide selection should meet the criteria for being non-cancerous, non-mutagenic, and non-reproductive toxic; use should not harm humans, non-target species, or the environment.
  • Pesticides must have minimal adverse effects on human health and non-target species (including considering timing, methods, and frequency of application). Adequate worker safety protocols and protective gear are mandatory.
  • Ensure use complies with national laws, international agreements, and other relevant regulatory frameworks; ensure compliance with relevant international standards for labelling, handling, storage, or disposal of pesticides. If restrictions are absent, implement alternative management options. Compliance with the strictest standards is required.

Pest Management Plan (PMP)

  • Develop a PMP for projects involving significant pest management issues or where substantial pest control financing is anticipated; this is particularly relevant where a project has the potential for significant impacts on human health, the environment, and adjacent ecosystems.

  • PMP may be part of the ESCP (Environmental and Social Component Plan) or a separate plan depending on complexity. It's not required for malaria control measures.

  • PMP should address risks, impacts, and mitigation measures, particularly when projects relate to significant pest management issues or a large proportion of funding is for pest control.
